Whenever a non-stranger asks how Iβm doing my go to reply is βEh. Iβm about as miserable as I usually am.β other than that, I have a bad habit of ending sentences with βeh?β or βya know?β when speaking

"What in the bomb crustable fuck?" or "Heaven's Hell!"
At the end of the day, it gets dark.
I started saying 'Passiert den besten' ('happens to the best of us') as a joke when a friend would mention a minor inconvenience or fuckup. It turned from joke to an automatic reply
I think it's mostly that I use "good morning" as a greeting regardless of time of day
I used to do that in high school, it drove people nuts back in those days
same lol.
I do pretty much the same, but with "good evening". Funny to see people slowly shift to "good evening" over time when talking to me.
When asked where I'm going, "straight to hell if I don't change my ways".
I'mma steal that lmao
Lately I say βwhat the fuckβ a lot of
I have quite a few Noodleisms I use on a regular basis. "Not with that attitude" is often a fun one, but I'm quite partial to "... but I'm not a botanist" when I'm sharing an amateurish opinion on something that is in no way related to plants.
"I'm bouta split" is one i once said at a pub with my friends out of the blue. They found it hilarious and so i still say it occasionally when it feels right. Sometimes they steal it from me too.
What fresh hell is this?
I use this whenever my supervisor tells me she has news for me.
I did in elementary school. "To the max!"
I have a few. One is "That's what I always tell them", sometimes followed by "but they don't listen" usually when being insulted or critiqued. I'm also a big fan of saying "why not?" when someone asks me "why?". The other doesn't translate to English very well. I guess "huzzah!" or "commendations!" are close, but they don't capture the tone and how obscure the original is.
what is it in your language?
"Enorabuena!" It's used in some countries, but is extremely rare in mine.
eat shit
"Holy smokes!" -- in response to something not that interesting occurring
Sp kindof ironically?
Not sure, could be "and, um, yeah" when my sentence trails off because I've forgotten what I was talking about halfway through the sentence.
Sometimes i do that, or i say "so... yeah!"
"Wham, bam, feed me ham!"
I jokingly say "who did/was that?" when it was obviously me. For example: After a fart that I announced before.
G-Dang it! I normally have no filter for profanity, so people always laugh when I use it. I stole it from the Neature Walk series on YouTube.
I could be wrong. Iβve been wrong twice beforeβ¦. I divorced them both tho.
I noticed Iβve been using βfor sureβ on in-person conversations often. Not on chats and comments for some reason though.
